I have a clone of arrogant bastard bottle conditioning currently. I've purchased the parts to build a 3 tap keezer and have a brown ale fermenting as we speak and will be brewing an american pale ale and a pliny the elder clone (just under a pound of hops in this one!) that will all go in kegs and into the keezer so I'll have them on tap. I'll probably bottle a six pack of each.

One of the best lagers I've ever had (though the list is pretty short, and I haven't had Eliot Ness yet). Strong taste of roasted malt on entry that stays and is complimented by a little bit of hop. Just right, in my book.

Had some Victory Prima Pils at an event last night where Victory had a rep present. They had Prima Pils and Hop Wallop. The dude pouring beers told a girl that Hop Wallop was very fruity "mango and passion fruit." The girl was excited until she tried it. That's a pretty misleading description for a beer novice, even if it is citrusy hops with little pineyness. You should give some heads up on the hops that is going to crush any "fruitiness" for many palates.

If you already are a fan of quads and haven't had it yet you will undoubtedly be a fan.

In his defense, it's called Hop Wallop. I would have been very tempted to do the same thing.
